A Cigarette-Maker’s Romance

CHAPTER III
25/27

"It is all your fault!" she exclaimed.

"What business have you to come between husband and wife with your friends and your cursed dolls, the fiend take them, and you! Is it for this that Christian Gregorovitch and I have lived together in harmony these ten years and more?
Is it for this that we have lived without a word of anger--" "What did you say ?" asked Fischelowitz, with an angry laugh.

For honest folks to be harbouring such a fellow as you are, and not you only, but your friends and your rag and your tag! Fie! If you stay here long we shall end in dust and feathers! But you shall not stay here, whatever that soft-brained husband of mine says.

You shall go and never come back.
